Jacobo made our experience unique and special. Thank you!
I had an amazing time, the cooks/chefs Alessandro and Marco are wonderful amazing people, it was a lot of fun, I learned a lot, laughed a lot, definitely worth it, I'd do it again😊
Marco and Allesandro were absolute perfection that matched the absolute deliciousness of the food we prepared. It was not only the best meal we had in Rome, they made it easy to prepare and we had several great cooking takeaways. Highly recommend this experience!
We had an amazing time learning to make pasta, raviolis, and tiramisu with Alessandro! The food was delicious and he was a great teacher. Picking out ingredients from the market to cook with was a lot of fun
It was the best experience in Rome, the chef Alessandro was very helpful and charismatic and the food turned out to be great and delicious
Amazing experience! Ian was so helpful and made everything so much fun! 🙏🥰
Alexandro was personable, knowledgeable and fun to learn from. He has developed good relationships with vendors from the Market and knows what to buy for the session he is teaching.
Chef Jacobo was amazing. Very patient. We had an amazing time with two kids including a teenager. The service and facility were top notch. Will highly recommend!
I am so glad to have had this experienced! Staff were friendly and informative cook was great and food was amazing!
Very nice class, friendly and good vibe instructors, relaxed but serious about food, excellent dishes, highly recommended experience.
Great time and very personal. Great knowledge of food and history.
Phenomenal in every way!! I couldn’t be happier with this cooking class, it’s truly a gem in Rome. Making everything from scratch from supplies you bought directly from the market that morning, choosing the menu as a group so it’s something you actually wanted to eat and not just a pre-determined meal shows the true flexibility of the whole adventure, and even when we had additional thoughts or ideas along the way they were incorporated seamlessly into the day without a bit of trouble. The whole thing was tailored to exactly what we wanted and needed and we truly learned useful skills to be able to make this again at home, and it was NOT a basic meal, it was surprisingly advanced. The small group of 5 participants allowed us to really get to know each other and get comfortable working together and made the experience that much more special. I have no idea how I got so lucky to find this fabulous place but I am so thankful that I did.
Davide was an amazing and knowledgeable host. I really enjoyed how kind and caring he was. I will definitely bring my family back when I come back to Italy!!! 10/10 amazing experience. And also the food was the best I’ve eaten so far this trip im not even kidding!!!
A phenomenal experience with Jacapo. Starting off at the farmer’s market gave a real sense of the local ingredients. Are VERY accommodating for allegens (One of us is gluten free and the other allergic to nuts and peanuts and had no problem). Make sure you have an appetite when you go! It’s an experience not to be missed in Rome.
I had such an amazing time, our chef Davide was so sweet and super easy to follow when he was giving us instructions. I’ve taken so many cooking classes but never one like this. You start in Campo Di Fiori and you pick your ingredients in the market right there and you get all fresh produce. Then the chef takes you to the butcher shop and a couple other local places to get everything for the cooking classes. This made it feel super special. The actual cooking classes itself was very fun and I felt so comfortable in the group setting. Everyone was super super nice and it was sooo much fun. AND THE FOOD, OMG it was absolutely amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever made food that delicious before but we made fresh pesto spaghetti pasta aswell as a little appetizer with traditional roman meats and roasted burrata cheese. We also made chicken with bell peppers with white wine sauce aswell as strawberry and lemon sorbet. Everything was 10/10 and of course it was also bottomless wine 🤣😇💗 I highly recommend taking this class and would take it again for sure
This was the loveliest cooking class ever. Davide was the best professor and cook! We picked fresh ingredients from the market, had a photographer at all times, met the loveliest people and the best part took the receptive and experience home with us 💗
Incredible cooking class! Marco was an AMAZING teacher and chef. The BEST activity we did while in Rome. Will definitely book again if we come back :)
This whole experience was “top of the line”. The chefs are welcoming and knowledgeable. The studio was gorgeous and well laid out. And the food….. incredible! This was a HIGHLIGHT of our trip!
amazing. Chef Jacob was helpful and informative. A wonderful experience for all ages.
Great experience. Alessandro was great.
This was a wonderful morning. We met our chef, Marco, who took us through the market to all of his favorite spots. We then went to the beautiful kitchen where we made ravioli, salad, artichoke and tiriamasu. The food was wonderful and Marco was the best. 5 stars and highly recommend!!!
Our host and chef, David, was incredible. Meeting at the market, we chose our recipes based on the ingredients available. We were very fortunate to be the only 2 members registered for the class. The step by step, hands on experience of cooking sets this class above most. David’s knowledge of ingredients, how they should be used, and combined with his passion and love of food makes him and excellent instructor. It’s was one of the best meals we had in Rome and we played a starring roll in making the dishes. 4 hours goes by in a heartbeat. I would not hesitate recommending this class to anyone that has a love of Italian food. Bravo Enjoy Cooking!
So amazing! A must-do for a true Italian cultural experience. David inspired meals in the market based on the fresh produce available. Spinach-ricotta ravioli, tomato spaghetti and lemon sorbet. Loved this!
What a wonderful Roman experience, meeting Chef Ian at the market, buying local produce from the 93 year old Nonna and the great surrounding market shops. And then cooking what best comes to Chef Ian’s mind - fettuccine with artichoke and guanciale, traditional chicken cacciatore (no tomato!) and tiramisu. Thank you - great cooking, great company, great food!
Best experience in Roma thanks to Ian and Donna! We also had an amazing couple from Australia/Amsterdam in our party that made everything fun! Experience a local Roman market experience, pick your preferred menu, and learn to cook foods you could easily make at home. I cannot recommend this tour enough.
Jacobo was an excellent instructor! We had a great time from start to finish. And the meal we made was amazing!
If I could give this experience 100 out of 5 stars, I would! Alessandro was the perfect guide & chef >> passionate, welcoming, knowledgeable, funny and warm. He made everyone feel right at home from the start. What really set this apart was beginning the day at the local market: grabbing breakfast at the bakery, getting our cut of meat from the butcher, hand-picking vegetables & selecting cheeses. It felt like I was truly living a day in the life of a Roman chef/local. Then there was the kitchen which absolutely is stunning! We cooked a feast: fresh pasta, veal cotoletta, salad and tiramisu with plenty of prosciutto, cheeses, cookies and pizza throughout grabbed from the market. This easily ranks at the top of my all-time favorite life experiences. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for something authentic, soulful and unforgettable!
Max, our chef, exceeded all our expectations! His knowledge of the local area and Italian cuisine added such a personal touch to our shopping and cooking experience. The kitchen for our cooking class was spectacular and just a short walk from Piazza Campo d'e Fiori. The menu was the best meal we've had in Rome.
Great class! Showed us around all the local spots and in the market and how to make amazing homemade italian cooking. Amazing kitchen and awesome chef. Would definitely recommend.
Had the best time with Max and Eugenio. Lovely ravioli and tiramisu. The meatballs were hands down the best I’ve had in my life.
Our chef, Marco, guided us through the bustling local market to select the freshest ingredients. We then proceeded to a well-equipped kitchen designed to accommodate 12 guests, where we handcrafted ravioli and meatballs, along with their accompanying sauces. As we sipped wine and prepared our meal, curious onlookers peered through the glass storefront, intrigued by our authentic Roman cooking experience. We will be recommending our fun experience to all of our friends.
It was amazing, purchasing all the food at the market, than we prepared the food from scratch and than cooked and finally eat it. Marco was the best
Marco was a fantastic Chef for instructing cooking Chef! Next trip we are booking another cooking class. It was so personal and he was very informative and helped us learn the Rome way to cook.
Marco was fabulous. Everything was perfect. Honestly wouldn’t change a thing! Lovely space, good blend of hands on cooking and being served/assisted.
This was really fun- we made gelato, suppli, and pizza- all came out great, I got some good photos and videos, and our chef made it really simple and fun. Great for families, and good for beginners who don't cook much- they make it very easy.
This class was so far my favorite. The fact that it starts from local shops, buying fresh ingredients upon the needs of our menu. The chefs are so friendly and you can tell they have a good relationship with everyone. This made us feel more like locals by starting everything from scratch. I would definitely recommend 💯
Very pleasant experience in the heart of Rome, wonderful staff and service! An excellent gift idea for a relaxing day that is different from the usual.
Fantastic experience in every aspect, fantastic chef and staff. Must do again! Also excellent as a gift idea.
Beautiful and authentic experience! We started with a tour of the Campo de’ Fiori market, where we sourced fresh, high-quality ingredients from the best stalls. Then we moved to a beautiful location overlooking Piazza Mattei, right in front of the wonderful Turtle Fountain. With chef Jacopo we cooked, drank great wine and finally enjoyed everything we had prepared. A simple, fun and truly unforgettable experience. Highly recommended
The chef Marco is very friendly and it has fun cooking with him. A great plan with high quality ingredients, good wine and a great location
